LONDON, September 28 -- One man currently fighting in Syria has claimed that the UK should be frightened of the skills he has learned there. A Twitter account thought to belong to Nasser Muthana, 20, has a picture showing what appear to be improvised explosive devices in a garage. The caption reads: 'So the UK is afraid I come back with the skills I've gained.' He also describes himself as a 'soldier of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham', and has previously spoke of jihad as 'obligatory'. Muthana is one of a group of three Britons fighting in Syria who have joined the Islamist extremist groups Isis. His brother Aseel, 17, from Cardiff, and their friend Reyaad Khan, 20, have also joined the fighting in the war-torn country. The bank accounts of the two older men have both been frozen by the UK Treasury after they appeared in an Isis recruitment video. Another Brit who has joined the fighting has claimed that public executions will be staged in London's Trafalgar Square, according to the Sunday People. The man, using the name Abu Dugma al-Britani, has claimed that a 'holy' war will be waged in Britain. Writing on Twitter, he said: 'Downing Street will be a base for Muslims. 'Trafalgar Square is where public executions will take place. Army of Islamic State is coming.' The comments come as it emerged two twin sisters aged just 16 have fled their Manchester home and flown to Syria. The girls, who have not been named but are of Somalian origin, are said to have sneaked out of the family home while their parents slept. It is thought that they have joined an older brother fighting for Isis in Syria. A source told The Sun: "Two young girls don't go to Syria to take in the sights so their family and the police are understandably worried."But they have told their family they are not coming home." ISIS is known for its harsh interpretation of Islam and brutal violence. It has at least 4,000 fighters in its ranks, and has claimed responsibility for attacks which have killed thousands.
